Stock Fiberglass Hood

Does anyone make them for an 85-92 Iroc-z? I don't want one of the cowl hoods. I want the stock hood but fiberglass instead of that 2 ton hood that they came with.

I checked out up22.com but they don't have one that matches the stock iroc hood with louvers.

The 82-84 fiberglass hood is a direct bolt up with the 85-92 camaro's, only thing is it's got the 82-84 Z28 divets instead of louvers, theres no way to put louvers on & I have never heard of anyone putting blisters over the divets, but if you want to go with a light, stock hood then beggerds can't be choosers.

And as a fact 85-92 IROC-Z's & Z28's NEVER got fiberglass stock hoods, so don't bother looking.

It "would" have been a good idea to have 1LE packaged cars have fiberglass hoodd however.

As far as I know, you can only get a flat fiberglass hood. I'm not sure who makes it but you could probably PM Tim Burgess. He has one that he modified to put his blisters on. Looks good but is probably a pain to get right.

Hope that helps.

I know that. I was just wondering if anyone had heard of an aftermarket hood with the 85-92 stock STYLE hood. Oh well, thanks for the help anyway, guys.
